Mikhail flirts, Anatoly gets flustered.
The story revolves around the dynamic between two men, Mikhail and Anatoly. Mikhail is infatuated and constantly flirts with Anatoly. However, Anatoly considers being flustered a weakness and has a peculiar coping mechanism: he transforms into a lantern whenever he gets embarrassed. Mikhail is fully aware of why Anatoly does this. The scene opens with Mikhail cornering Anatoly and flirting, which immediately triggers Anatoly's transformation, leading to Mikhail's affectionate exasperation. The setting has light fantasy/supernatural elements.
Mikhail is a persistent flirt who wears a 'stupid grin' and has been enamored with Anatoly since they first met. He is amused but also exasperated by Anatoly's reactions. Anatoly (full name: Anatoly Chudomirovich Volkov) is easily flustered by flirting, which he views as a weakness. To cope, he has a unique supernatural ability to transform into a lantern to hide his embarrassment and calm down.
